It should be %C2%B1, because de-facto urls are encoded as utf-8. I've
just tried entering ± into four input field: firefox 1.5 search
toolbar, www.google.com search in firefox 1.5, google toolbar in IE 6,
www.google.com search in IE 6. Everywhere ± is encoded as %C2%B1. In
older browsers YMMV.

Your console must be utf-8.
>>> u'±'.encode('utf-8')
'\xc2\xb1'
